Flood Disaster

A NATIONAL DISASTER is unfolding here….we’re bracing ourselves for more rain over the next couple of days, I have never ever in my entire life seen anything like this. The Brisbane River has broken its banks with evacuations underway in the heart of the city amid fears Brisbane and surroundings will see its worst flooding ever. Public transport has been cancelled, talks of closing down Brisbane Airport is a possibility and there are practically no mobile phone reception. Where I am, the roads are closed within a proximity of +/- 10 km all around and as I type this, it is so very dark outside, (almost 2pm) with thunder and lightning everywhere. Please keep those who are unaccounted for in your heart and prayers…we have not seen the end.

*Smiling* thanks Charlie…exactly what I would say!! All’s well here, will only know the true crises tomorrow, water is still rising as I type this. Think I’ll be good, house is quite high but one never can be too sure. Just devastating surroundings. Thanks for the thoughts my friend *heart*.

God…I heard about that on the BBC, and have been watching it unfold…be careful, be safe. All the best to you and your loved ones there – like the many posting here, you’re in my thoughts, and so’s an end to that flood.

Oh, Amanda, may God be with you through this. How frightening! Watching peoples’ cars slide into the raging waters was heart breaking and scary. My heart goes out to the people of Australia enduring this horror. We will keep you all in our prayers. May you be safe and may this end. Blessings…

I am the lucky one still Carol, we are still finding out about the true devastation on the hour and the water levels have not risen fully. By tomorrow this time we will know for sure. I take your thoughts and words and cherish in deep within my heart. Thank you so very much. Love oxox

Thanks Victoria, I live on a canal as well and had been flooded the same time last year, the whole garden and pool was just a mudbath. Luckily my house sits quite high….I appreciate your thoughts so very much. Thanks my friend. oxo

Good God Girl.. this is really scary! This reminds of those Bombay floods… I wasn’t there then, but was scared out of my wits!!!
You take care, darling…
I hope the Rain Gods decide to ease down soon enough..

Amanda! What an ordeal you are living through. I saw your video when you first posted it and watched it a couple times with the kids. Unbelievable, and how the cars all stacked up like that. Gives a whole new meaning to the FORCES of nature. I was later on YouTube and saw the same video with 2.6 million hits! Wish you’d give us an update.
